Flowers of Evil
review 1: Much better than volume one.In this one we see a bit more into Kasuga's personality and we find that he's not quite as 'stuck-up' as we first thought. Although he does look down on those that don't read complex books like him, we find that he does have a heart.Saeki becomes more of a main character, and awww, isn't she sweet. What a lovely girl. I really hope nothing bad happens to her. The scenes between her and Kasuga are very touching. I'm sure we've all experienced an awkward scene with someone we liked before. Despite it's 'perverted' undertones the story seems quite realistic.And wow, Nakamura. What a character. Very interesting and a bit on the disturbed sign.I really liked the ending of this one.
review 2: After the traumatic experience of volume one, t
... morehings are looking up for Kasuga. Despite the presence of the sadistic Nakamura, his date with Saeki goes relatively well. He manages to stand up for himself, and even enters into a steady relationship. This bliss is doomed from the start though, and as the pressure builds, he finally snaps. Whereas the previous volume threw a lot of concepts at us, this one has greater focus in studying the characters. The author begins to peel away Saeki's mask to show that there is more to this "perfect" student than first appears. While her personality is slowly introduced, Kasuga's mask is removed forcefully and painfully, revealing the base human nature beneath that Nakamura so desires to see. It becomes clear that what she hates is the falseness of this mask; the social veil which we all wear to make ourselves acceptable within a group. During her "evil" moments, her face lights up in glee, on the other hand, Kasuga continues to present mostly timid, nervous, or embarrassed looks. The story continues in its uncomfortable vein, however with a greater focus on the inner workings of the characters it becomes somewhat easier to bare. less
